Milestone:  Boost 1.35.1                  |   Component:  regex      
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0                  |    Severity:  Problem    
 Keywords:  regex POSIX Compatible C API  |  
------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 I want to use POSIX Compatible C API support for regex library. I include
 the <boost/regex.hpp> header file to want to get the global name for
 regcomp function according to the documetation
 libs\regex\doc\html\boost_regex\ref\posix.html, but failed to pass the
 compile.

 So I decide to include the <boost/cregex.hpp> head file and using the
 namespace boost, it works. But I don't want to export all the names in the
 boost namespace to global.

 I am using MSVC version 9.0.
